## Description

We're looking for a Staff or Senior Product Engineers to join as an early member of our engineering team. We're a small team of generalists with deep experience in startups and who care about craft. We move fast, ship often, and hold ourselves to a high bar. From day one, you'll help shape the product's direction and ship features to production within your first week. Requirements will be fuzzy - you'll talk to users, form hypotheses, and iterate quickly to define what to build.
